i just created the following testpage, which incorporates matts and spikes
suggestions.
and just to add to the mix ive put a pre existing onload handler, to see if
it actually gets replaced by either of the 2 methods.
the result is that *all* 3 functions are called:
first the document.onload function gets called
then the mybodytag script gets called
then the pre existing onload function gets called.
<html>
<body id="mybodytag" onload="bodyonloadfunc()">
<Script>
function bodyonloadfunc()
{
alert('bodyonloadfunc');
}
function documentonloadfunc()
{
alert('documentonloadfunc');
}
document.onload=documentonloadfunc();
</script>
<script for="mybodytag" event="onload">
alert('mybodytagonload');
</script>
</body>
</html>

Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] OT: javascript body onload question
Will changing the BODY onLoad function after it has been defined
actually make the BODY onLoad function run though ? Does anyone know if
the BODY onLoad event is run/captured as soon as the browser hits the
BODY tag, or after the entire page has loaded ? You can just use
document.onLoad as Matt suggested as a replacement for BODY onLoad.
